How Long Does the Average Bathroom Remodel Take?

• While a lot will depend upon the scale of the
  bathroom remodel, most can be completed within a
  month, and even as little as 3 weeks for a
  smaller project.
• To help determine how long remodeling your
  bathroom will take a general contractor to
  complete, you can check the points below and
  answer the following questions
• What is the current state of your bathroom?
• If your bathroom has a variety of problems with
  plumbing and wiring etc. then a remodel may take
  longer due to addressing these issues, and
  brining the bathroom up to relevant safety
  standards.

• Will you use a general contractor?
• Using a general contractor can help the remodel
  go more smoothly, since they will coordinate the
  various subcontractors and work to keep the
  project on track and in budget. They will also
  source the materials at the best price for you,
  which can be time consuming if you do it
  yourself.
• Are any permits required?
• Youll need to obtain the appropriate permits
  from the city, and even if your general
  contractor takes care of this for you, the
  project cant begin until theyre granted.

• Here is an example of a timeline for the average
  bathroom remodel
• Pre-construction phase 1 to 2 weeks
• During this phase youll choose a general
  contractor, and they will go ahead and obtain all
  the necessary permits for the project.
• While waiting for the permits to be granted, the
  general contractor will source and buy the
  materials needed to complete the project, each of
  will be discussed with you in detail before
  purchase.
• Its best to notify any neighbors that you have,
  that work will be getting underway in your
  bathroom soon.

5

• Construction phase 3 to 6 weeks
• Any demolition work required will now commence,
  before any plumbing and electrical work is
  carried out.
• While work is underway to remodel your bathroom,
  the citys inspectors will need to visit to
  verify that its up to code, and while this step
  can delay proceedings, its a necessary and
  important step.
• Once youve gained the relevant seal of approval
  from the inspector, the general contractors team
  can commence with the walls, flooring, bath,
  sink, toilet and connections etc.

• In the final stages of the construction phase,
  the finishing touches will be added, such as
  décor and accessories.
• Post-construction phase 1 week
• The final remodeled bathroom will be tidied up
  and cleaned thoroughly, before the general
  contractor performs a final walk through with
  you to ensure that everything is up to standard
  and how you expected it to be.
• Having your bathroom remodeled is a relatively
  efficient and affordable home improvement,
  although, as with any home improvements, you can
  choose to buy luxury items which will bump the
  cost up, or stick to a smaller budget with
  economical materials and fittings.
